幾　き

Just wtf?... I know you said some are obviously not the same.... but dude that is a totally different level of not being the same...

remember, those kanji symbols are probably not for the syllable alone. It is a combination in a word to create that picture. kuruma is pronounced differently when adding it to japanese car, nihonsha. So the symbols have different sounds and are used differently depending on the word. Electric + Car = Train = densha

I was looking at it purely from an aesthetic standpoint...

I can't read 幾 as of yet... Although I'm assuming its read as き Ok probably not...

Derek-san, and fellow Rocket Japanese learners.

幾 is actually a Kanji that is read いく (iku), meaning "some, several, many" as well as asking "how many?", "how much?"

For example, 幾つ? (ikutsu?) is used in asking regarding an amount (how much, how many, etc.)

Ah, so yeah that kanji is definitely completely random for the origin of き.
